Broncos DE Derek Wolfe said his neck is "fixed."

Wolfe has dealt with nerve pain since the 2013 season and finished last year on injured reserve. The Foraminotomy procedure he underwent after landing on IR seems to have completely fixed the issue, however. "I can turn my head like an owl. It’s crazy. I can look all the way behind me. It’s insane," Wolfe told 9 News. "I feel so much better." Wolfe admits he still has work to do to get back to full strength, but it sounds like he will at worst be ready for training camp.

Broncos placed DE Derek Wolfe on injured reserve with a neck injury, ending his season.

Wolfe has been feeling numbness in his neck for much of the season. Amazingly, he missed only one game. Wolfe does not need surgery, but months of rest and rehab. Unsurprisingly, Wolfe was having a down year, tallying just two sacks while grading out as a replacement-level player in Pro Football Focus' ratings. Wolfe is signed through 2019 in Denver.

Wolfe was told his neck injury will not require surgery, but he will need to rest for a couple months. "As much as I’d like to get back out there and keep playing," Wolfe said, "when a spinal doctor tells you that you can lose use of your right arm if you don’t rest and heal properly, you listen." Losing Wolfe is yet another blow to a crumbling defense. On the bright side, it sounds like he will be ready for the offseason program. Tue, Dec 5, 2017 11:59:00 AM
